Today is my first full day of fasting. It’s 1:10 PM and I’m just starting to get some hunger pangs. I have 5 hours and 20 minutes until I can eat again, and I think my strategy coming off the fast will be to eat a Caesar salad and grilled chicken after work before going to the gym. I want my first meal after the 24 hour fast to be protein and fat heavy with as few carbohydrates as possible. When I get out of the gym, I think I’m going to a protein shake with skim milk, natural peanut butter, and cottage cheese before I take a shower and go to bed. Tomorrow I want to take in more calories than I did on September 10, so we’ll see how that goes; I definitely want to be sure to be up early to make eggs, have Fiber One cereal, a banana, and maybe a protein shake. I want to see how working out after the fast, but after eating a meal feels. We’ll see if I change this in the future to working out in the fast and moving all of my times back. I had two bowel movements today, and they were both solid, but with very little amount.
